A 118-year-old railway bridge in Leamington Spa will be removed and replaced by a new structure this Easter. Network Rail is completely replacing Rugby Road railway bridge over the A445 as part of a £2.4M investment to improve future journeys for passengers and freight between Nuneaton and Leamington Spa.

During a full railway and road closure from late today until early on 19 April, the existing 118-year-old bridge will be removed by a 96-wheeled transporter vehicle known as a SPMT (self-propelled modular transporter).
